How Do I Do This?

How do I do this? Where do I start?
To begin to tell you what is in my heart.
All that you have given me,
The love that you have shared.
It warms my heart to know,
That you really care.
You have given unconditionally,
To all my hidden needs,
Never a word spoken, for there was no need.
You knew what it was that my heart needed,
Even though I did not.
You saw all my struggles,
And the wars that I had fought.
You gave to me a gentleness,
That I had never known.
And offered me a love,
That to me had never been shown.

How do I do this? Where do I start?
To begin to tell you what sets you apart.
From others who have come and gone,
And left their marks behind.
Some of them were gentlemen,
Others not very kind.
You are different than them all,
A man all your own.
You never expect anything from me,
For all the love you've shown.
You've stood by me through thick and thin,
Though the going has been rough.
And never waivered in your faith,
Even when I wasn't so tough.
Sometimes I feel like giving up,
Just throwing the towel in.
But then you remind me,
Just where I had been.
Never did I imagine that my life could be so sweet.
Then you came into my life,
And made me feel complete.

How do I do this? Where do I start?
To begin to tell you,
Of all the love in my heart.
You planted the seeds,
And nurtured them,
Then stood back to watch them grow.
And much to my amazement,
It was the seeds of love you sowed.
You said I was a flower who needed help to bloom,
Now there are so many blossoms,
Enough to fill a room.
Your kindness, love and gentleness
Is just what I needed.
The seeds of love in which you have sown,
You have suceeded...
In helping this wilting flower,
To flourish and to grow,
And hopefully to return all the love
That you have shown.
You have fulfilled a life long dream,
One I thought would never come true.
But then I opened up my heart,
And there is where I found you.

How do I do this? Where do I start?
To thank you for all you've given me,
From the very start.
I promise to love you in return,
For this much I know is true.
I will never find anyone who
Is as good and pure as you.
